Matador
Dancing with Deception: Small Fires' Matador Reveals the Thrill of Love's Risk
Lyrics
A second before
A moment right before something happens.
I see you smiling
Observing you with a happy expression.
It's only a moment, but i feel so sure
Although brief, this moment feels certain and reassuring.
Beginning to run
Starting to move or act.
I'm losing patience
Running out of patience, becoming less tolerant.
The rise before the fall
The period before a decline or setback.
It's a difficult world
Life is challenging and demanding.
Anticipation
The feeling of excitement or eagerness for something to happen.
Both of us know, it's your game your rules
Both parties are aware that the situation is under your control and follows your rules.
I thought I could see, the moves you're making
Thinking you could predict the actions or strategies being employed.
But how you proved me wrong
Your expectations were proven incorrect.
Almost but never more than just a dance my matador
Almost, but never more than just a dance with the person addressed as "matador."
There's always another turn
There's always another opportunity or chance for something to change.
A delicate case of misdirection
A subtle form of misguidance or redirection.
I follow the steps but when will you show your hand
Following the steps, waiting for the other person's intentions to be revealed.
I'm hesitant now
Feeling uncertain or reluctant.
You've got me thinking
Wondering if your actions are causing the situation.
Am I the reason why
Despite everything, moving forward clumsily.
But nevertheless
Regardless, continuing onward.
I stumble forward
Unable to withdraw or retreat at this moment.
I can't back out not here not now
Determined not to make things easy for the other person.
I'm not gonna let you off that easy
Refusing to let the other person escape consequences easily.
Before you let me down
Before you disappoint or let me down.
Almost but never more than just a dance my matador
Similar to line 13, emphasizing the dance-like nature of the interaction.
Falling for every move
Falling for each move or action made by the person addressed as "matador."
Always another turn
There's always another chance for the situation to change direction.
Leaving me to crash and burn
Leaving oneself vulnerable to failure or negative outcomes.
More than I've got to lose
More than what is at stake or can be risked.
You're pristine, I think you've been here before
You seem flawless or perfect, perhaps experienced in this situation before.
The routine is getting hard to ignore
It's becoming challenging to overlook the established pattern or routine.
You're pristine, you might've been here before
Reiterating the perfection or experience in a situation similar to this.
Obscene, you want me down on the floor
Suggesting a desire for dominance or control.
Almost but never more than just a dance my matador
Similar to previous references, emphasizing the dance-like nature of the interaction.
Falling for every move
Repeatedly falling for the tactics or actions of the person addressed as "matador."
Always more or less
Always more or less the same, forever uncertain or doubtful.
Forever damned to second guess
Perpetually trapped in a cycle of second-guessing the situation.
There's always another turn
There's consistently another opportunity for things to change or evolve.
